OPERATING MANUAL
Mount abrake disc on the front drum travel hydraulic motor.
Tighten the screw by half aturn.
Note
Repeat the same procedure for the hydraulic motor of the rear
drum travel.
When the towing is completed, return the machine into
its original shape using the reverse procedure.
Towing procedure
• Secure the articulation joint of the machine against tilting.
• Attach the tow ropes or tow bars.
• Pull out the machine from the danger area.
The towed machine must be attached to both tow lugs.
For towing, use undamaged tow ropes or tow bars of
asucient capacity 1.5 × higher than the weight of the
towed vehicle. Do not use achain for the towing.
It is necessary to maintain the minimal angular deviation
from the direction of towing. The maximum possible an-
gular deviation is 30°.
The towing movement must be smooth. Do not exceed
the towing speed by more than 1 km/hour (0.6mph).
Tow the roller at the shortest distance possible – to res-
cue when it gets stuck or to remove when it is broken and
obstructing. Do not tow for adistance exceeding 10 m
(11yd).
The towing machine should correspond with its size to
the damaged machine. It must have asucient traction
power (output), weight, and brake eect.
While towing downhill using arope, another towing ma-
chine must be connected to the rear part of the damaged
machine. In this way you can prevent an uncontrolled
motion of the damaged machine.
No person may be on the towed machine!
Do not touch hot parts of the machine, there is aburn
hazard!
